 This patch modifies some labels in the UI, the reason for this is to
 reduce the screen area used to give more flexibilty in theming.

 Having loooked through the .ts files, it is apparent that the:
 "Sort by (1) Foo  (2) Bar" doesn't work in all languages.

 I believe consistency in the UI is most important, although this patch
 removes the "Sort by" and "Show" prefixes from some strings it means that
 all "Selector" strings are now consistent . I don't believe this is a
 significant loss as the theme may not even have used these strings to
 begin with.

 This could be addressed with a help popup dialog and would work well if
 the theme didn't use these labels at all.

 I have updated the .ts files as best I can, I have used some other
 translation strings from each .ts file to help with the update. Mind you I
 only speak English so it is worth reviewing the translations.

 Let me know if this needs some rework.


 PS: I have taken the approach of directly editing the themestrings.h and
 .ts files as it appears that it may have been a while since it was last
 updated as just running it on a clean source tree generates  a different
 themestrings.h. But I am not very familiar with the whole translation
 process, so PEBUK is a possibilty ;)
